I keep trying to go the cheap(er) route by buying other jackets, but this is the ticket. I am 5'3" with a athletic build, so its hard finding jackets that don't make me feel like a storm trooper when i'm wearing them.
This jacket is substantially lighter than other 4 season jackets I have had and conforms to my torso MUCH better than any of the other jackets I have bought. I got this jacket this morning and took it for a quick ride, with it a bit chilly in the morning to being warm right about now, this jacket was able to adapt easily. And it doesn't incorporate a ton of worthless gimmicks to make it happen. All the vents/zippers on the jacket it are well thought out and have a good feel to them.
Just the first few hours of wearing the jacket it feels like I just have street clothes on. I don't feel like I have armored clothing on. If you have a hard time finding jackets that fit and you have a slim to athletic build, spend the extra money, buy Revit!
I can't comment on the quality of the waterproofing so we will see, but come winter time I try to stay out of the rain, so for my purposes it should be fine.
I have a mesh Revit Jacket that has held up for years and I expect this jacket to do the same.
I have to thank the Revzilla crew, for all their hard work on their product videos, granted I spent what seems like days watching youtube videos they posted on jackets, but it helped tremendously and let me reach a decision on such an expensive (to me) jacket and never spoke to a human being. I can only imagine how helpful they are when you actually talk to them. This is my first transaction with revzilla and it won't be my last! Thanks again!

Can the rabbit pouch on the back carry the waterproof liners from both the jacket and the pants?
It's a tight fit with just the liners from the jacket, you might be able to squeeze it in, but it will definitely feel awkward back there. I tried riding with just the jacket waterproof liner back there and it bothered me too much, so I just keep it in my other luggage.
